Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Marbofloxacin is an antibiotic. This product does not contain steroids or anti-fungal agent. Rimadyl, or any other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication should not be given during steroids treatment. If George is on Rimadyl and dexamethasone tablets, you should double-check with your vet that your dog definitely needs both of these medications at the same time.
